How many times a week do you work out and how long for? Just curious to hear people's different routines.

    I ride 4-5x per week...my week day rides are about an hour and I usually do a longer ride on the weekend. I lift 3x per week usually...for the most part I lift with about 60% of my max at 8-10 reps except for my Olympic stuff...in the winter I tend to spend less time on my bike and that's when I do my "heavy" weight training cycles and I'll usually lift 4x per week.

    If I'm training for a cycling event, I spend way more time on my bike to get the miles in and only lift a couple of days per week and do more higher rep stuff with lighter weight.

    ETA: I generally take 1-2 rest days per week depending...every 6 weeks or so I do a de-load and take it pretty easy.

    5x per week. Usually about 50 mins each time.
    Weekends are a mix of yard work, helping with the house, and some other activity like going to a bazaar and walking around.

    4-5 times per week. Depending on what the activity is, usually between 30 and 90 minutes each time.

    I lift on four days for about an hour a day and I have a fifth day where I take a spin class for just under an hour.

    5-6. Length depends on the activity. If I go to a class, it's about an hour, 45-60 minutes if I'm lifting, and about 30 if I'm running.

    I lift 5 to 6 days a week. I take rest days as I feel they are needed rather than scheduling them. Most of the time I am done within an hour at the gym, but never more than 90 minutes.

    I actually work out for training purposes three days a week - Friday, Sunday, Tuesday. This is about 30 minutes of strength training followed by about 25 minutes of HIIT.

    Then there's the exercise I do for pleasure, like walking for an hour most days, or that I do because it needs to happen, like yardwork. I don't really count those as anything other than my normal day to day activities.

    5 x a week I do morning recovery rides. Slower calorie burn rides. They help with soreness and really are a good thing. They are on normal workout days

    Weights 2 days a week.

    Fast ride 2x a week

    Saturday will be some kind of long workout. This Saturday was 50 mile ride and 10K run.

    Minimum none. Maximum around 9 times. Average around 3 times a week due to a busy schedule

    This week 7 days burning over 2200cal. I vary my workouts between Leslie Sansone walking DVD/Treadmill walking with varying incline-speed and outdoor walking. The best thing I did was stopped drinking alcohol-day #8.

    I workout 5 days/week, Monday to Friday. I take weekends off but do the usual housework, groceries, yard work, etc. I try to fit in a walk/foam rolling/active stretching etc i don't count the daily walks/chores/stretches etc as exercise.

    Depending on how I'm training during a particular cycle I do anywhere from 2-5 strength training sessions per week and 2-4 cardio sessions per week and yoga 1/week.

    Currently I am doing a full body minimalist strength training cycle 3 days/week with a heavy focus on strength-endurance, 1 day/week ladder/cone drills, lead a HIIT class 1-2 days/week, yoga 1/week and Krav Maga 3 days/week.
